Bans Update

We're applying bans as we wrap up Season 12. In Season 13, all bans will be reset, giving everyone a fresh opportunity to earn tips.

At the end of each season, we'll reevaluate activity using a rule-based analysis of our choosing to weed out behavior that closely aligns with farming. To prevent gaming the system, we won't announce rules in advance but will use various techniques to monitor how tips are being distributed.

Let's be the voice of the community they have tried to build!

Filtering is undoubtedly a necessary tool for any project to grow and improve its objectives. However, when specific rules have already been communicated to users, they should be reviewed based on community feedback and surveys.

Implementing sudden rule changes without considering prior commitments can harm both the project and its users.

Disrespecting Farcaster Users

Recently, @jacek has introduced new rules for the Degen project. However, unfortunately, these rules have been retroactively applied to the past month of user activity, completely disregarding their efforts. The overall sentiment in the Farcaster community right now makes it clear that many users feel disrespected.

This isn’t the first time such actions have taken place—similar decisions in the past have upset major contributors and influential users.

Without a doubt, this kind of rule-making and enforcement will harm Farcaster and lead to a loss of community members.

Please keep an eye on this individual's actions.
